Albania's Eurovision 2023 act, Albina & Familja Kelmendi , has released the revamped version of their entry "Duje".

Following their national final win with their song "Duje" Albina & Familja Kelmendi have released a revamp of their entry for the 67th Eurovision Song Contest in Liverpool this May.

The revamp is giving “Duje” a new orchestration with the core of the song remaining the same. The videoclip shows Albina finding an empty house, with pictures left.

The song itself calls the family to unite, so Albina does the same. She calls every family member and reunites with them in the house that was left abandoned before.

Albina & Familja Kelmendi will perform in the second half of the second semi-final on May 11.
